5 pound Clippers - MEET HERE!

[MelanieC]

Hi everyone,

This is the thread for all the 5 pound loosers who are trying to get to the 10 pound clippie. Post here for extra encouragement and support from other 5 pound clippie owners. Let us know how you are doing......

I have lost 17.6 pounds so far, 5lbs so far with the WISH challenge.

I can't wait to meet all the other 5 pound loosers!

I have lost 5 here with WISH and am approaching my 10 pound clippy. I'm hoping to be down to 146 on my official weigh in on MY scale tomorrow morning. Today I was 145.8 on the Curves scale, but I'm ONLY counting MY weights at home for consistency. And ONLY weighing on Thursday's for my sanity I'll let you know tomorrow if I'm staying here for another week or I'm packing up and going to the 10 pound clippy thread.

 

[honeymo78]

Yeah for the 5lbs clippers! In 3 weeks I have lost 9lbs so hopefully next week I will be trading up for a new clippie. I just have to figure out how to battle the TOM bloat. I'm trying to drink the same amount of water as I usually do even though I feel full sometimes. This friday might be tough for me. I'm going to see my mom and get my car inspected then off to the casino. I'll get plenty of walking in on the boardwalk but I won't be drinking much water. Those bottles they give you are so tiny - I wonder if there are any water fountains at the casino and I could take my water bottle.

Keep up the good work all and we will all see that 10lb clippie in no time at all.

I'm in - I may be at a five pound clippie for life, though! It took me so long to get it - I may end up being the senior 5lb Clippie gal! I know, I'll take on a mothering role - encouraging others to move on but never really moving on myself. They'll call me Old Mother 5lb Clippie...


That's it girls (and guys)! Move on to that 10lb Clippie! Remember me when you're gone...

Hi everyone, I have lost 6 pounds so far and hope to graduate to the 10 pound clippie by Aug.15 when I go away with some girl friends for the weekend! The next week and a half are going to be tough for me because we have a lot of picnics and a mini vacation coming up but I am getting better all the time at watching my carb intake and when I want to cheat I think of all of you here and all the support and that usually stops me. I have also been getting in more excersie in the past week so hopefully that will help. I have decided that I'm going to walk in the WISCon 1/2 Marathon so I'm starting to take our dog Belle for walks almost every night to start training for that.

I just got my 5 pound clippie last week, so it will be a week or two untill I hit 10. I have under 3 weeks before I leave and it is my mini goal to have to 10 pound clippie by then.

 

[tiggereyore]

I too am in. but thinking I might be hear for a while. Went on vacation last week and have 2 long weekends coming up and have yet to get back in the grove of my work outs(OH TRACY I need that kick again). I had hoped that by aug 1 I'd have the 10lb but those last 3 lbs are holding to their guns since i haven't been exerciseing I have cut down on my food to. My promise to myself is that Sunday when we get home I'll put in the laundry and do my tapes( WATP for the abs.)

I have 1 word to say about all the water we are drinking don't stop for more than a day it's so hard to get it down after that!

 

[ohiominnie]

[scarlett873]

save a place for me in here!! i am almost there...i've been haning at 4lbs now for most of the week...just one more and i can get a new clippie!!

 

[LuvTigger]

Okay, count me in too! I had hoped to already have my 10 lb. clippie by now, but I had a few set backs this month with a 6-day personal trip to the Big Island, and a 2-day trip back to the Big Island for work. So far I'm down a total of 5.5 lbs, my goal was to be down 12.5 lbs by the end of this month, but I don't think that's "safely" possible. I'm going to readjust my goal and plan to be down 8 pounds by the end of this month. I hope to move on to the 10 pound clippie in early August!

And audflash, I know that I personally am determined to take you with me over to the 10 pound clippie post!

Hi 5lb Clippie group. How is everyone doing? Everyone focused and ready for the weekend? How many of you plan for your weekend??

Tonight is our Pizza night. I am going to get Whole wheat to add to our crust. I really hope it tastes ok, and the family doesn't turn up their noses. We are going to try a farmer's market tonight for our produce too. I can't wait. I hope they have great veggies and fruits!

Tomorrow, we are going shopping so I will have my usual 1.5 kashi cereal and have a 3.5 point quesadilla with homemade salsa. I am sure we will end up with dinner out tomorrow night. Luckily that should leave me with plenty of points left to tackle dinner. I am getting good at eating out, and find I have plenty of yummy choices.

Sunday DH is going to a NASCAR race ( I think it's Nascar, I could be wrong). We can't go, because the military guys got special tickets and are going as a group. I am thinking the kids and I will go see a movie, and maybe go out to lunch. Once I figure out what we are going to do for dinner, that should allow me to make my Sunday plan.


I hope everyone has a good Friday.........keep focused, and keep up the good work. That 10lb clippie is within our reaches!!

I want to join too! I've been with WW for the 4 weeks and so far have lost a total of 7.2 pounds I'm getting close to the 10 pound clippie (and I'm almost half-way to my 10% target), but I think I'm going to be in the 5 pound club for a couple more weeks at least

This weekend, I have a birthday coming up ... so I've got to choose my food carefully and spend a little while longer in the gym if I want to have a slice of cake

 

[msteddom]

Hi Melanie!!
Sounds like you have your plan it place and ready to go. Good for you!!! I never plan my meals like you do, but I make sure to have good choices around the house. My standbys are 2 pt. Rice Chex cereal, 3 pt. yougurt and Lean Cuisine. I'm on my own for the next four days. My parents, who have been kind enough to let me have my childhood bedroom back, are out of town. That makes things easier for me because I get to decide what's for dinner rather than my mom.

 

[honeymo78]

Bye everyone. I'll miss you now that I've graduated to 10lbs but I hope I see you all in that thread very soon. Keep up the good work!!!

 

[MelanieC]

Hi 5lb'ers....how was everyone's weekend? Mine went pretty close to plan, except DD decided to go over to a friends house and I had to shift my plans a little. In the end it all worked out.

I hope everyone had a terrific, on program weekend. Wishing us all success at our weigh-ins this week.

Congrat's to Honeymo78!

Melanie

Hi Melanie!
Glad to hear you had a good weekend. I had a little slip up with some cookies last night, but I had enough points banked to cover them so I'm not going to worry about it too much. I'm out in California, so my weekend isn't over yet. I'm about to go do my elliptical trainer. My goal is to get up to 40 min. to get the full 4 points. Hasn't happened yet. I'm feeling good though, the clothes are feeling looser and I'm curious what the scale will tell me at WI on Tuesday.

woo hoo!! i'm now officially in the 5lb clippie club!!

i've just finished induction on atkins and i've lost 7lbs so far. i may be moving on to the 10lb club in a bit, but i'm happy to be here now!!

 

[BethR]

I can belong!
I can belong!



FINALLY! That the LONGEST first 5 pounds that I have ever lost. (and I have lost and regained them DOZENS of times! )

I am doing Atkins. I had a stall for about 2 weeks (and I have just been doing it for 3 weeks - so that is REALLY weird ! But HEY! It's ME we're talking about here! ) but I have finally started moving down again. Hope that it continues.

So glad to be amoung this wonderful group!

 

[firecracker]

I just finished the 2 week induction, but am going to stay on induction for awhile. I will add some blueberries because I'm going to be picking them this week!

I've lost 8 pounds so far and will hopefully get to 10 in the next couple of days once the bloat fairy leaves me and moves on to someone else!

I'm excited to have the extra boost of encouragement from this thread!

WE can do it!!!
